A recently sought-after book on the psychology of family relationships states that men and women come from different planets. We are talking about Mars and Venus (in a figurative sense, of course). Apparently, there is something in this, since it is often difficult to find a common language for representatives of the strong and beautiful half of humanity, to put it mildly.
How many songs were sung about such difficulties – do not count. The famous ballad Crazy by the rock band Aerosmith is also dedicated to them. In it, the performer turns to his girlfriend, who, after a quarrel, once again packs her bags and is about to leave. And by no means to my mother, as is customary with us, but immediately to Hollywood. It is not surprising that such a decision drives the narrator crazy.
The history and meaning of the song Crazy – Aerosmith
Crazy was written in 1993 by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Aerosmith-affiliated producer/songwriter Desmond Child.
It was included on the album “Get a Grip” and released as a short single. He successfully walked the charts and was even awarded a Grammy.
Clip Crazy Aerosmith
In the second half of the nineties, the video clip for the song, which starred Liv Tyler, the daughter of Aerosmith vocalist, and actress Alicia Silverstone, was very popular in the second half of the nineties. In the story, they run away from school and leave in a blue Mustang to have fun.
The video turned out to be very provocative, and the participation of underage girls in it caused discontented grumbling of the guardians of morality. However, this only fueled public interest in him. The clip was later ranked #23 on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Music Videos of All Time.
Let’s watch the online video clip of Crazy rock band Aerosmith.

Crazy Lyrics
Come here baby
You know you drive me up a wall
The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we’re making up more than we’re making love
And it always seems you got something on your mind other than me
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways, you hear me
Say you’re leaving on a seven thirty train
And that you’re heading out to Hollywood
Girl, you’ve been giving me that line so many times
It kinda gets like feeling bad looks good, yeah
That kinda loving turns a man to a slave
That kinda loving sends a man right to his grave
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on then you’re gone, yeah, you drive me
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
What can I do, honey, I feel like the color blue
You’re packing up your stuff and talking like it’s tough
And trying to tell me that it’s time to go, yeah
But I know you ain’t wearing nothing underneath that overcoat
And it’s all a show, yeah
That kinda loving makes me wanna pull down the shade, yeah
That kinda loving, yeah
Now I’m never, never, never, never gonna be the same
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on then you’re gone, yeah, you drive me
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
What can I do, honey, I feel like the color blue
I’m losing my mind, girl, ’cause I’m going crazy
I need your love, honey, yeah
I need your love
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
I’m losing my mind, girl, ’cause I’m going crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby You turn it on then you’re gone, yeah, you drive me
Crazy Lyrics
Come on baby
You know how it pisses me off
When you try to look good after your antics
Seems like we make up more often than we make love
And it always seems that what you have on your mind is not at all what I think
Baby, you need to forget about your crazy habits, you understand?
You say you’re leaving on the seven-thirty train
That you’re heading to Hollywood
Baby, how many times have you told me this
It starts to feel like it’s okay to feel bad
This kind of love turns a man into a slave
This kind of love drives a man to the grave
I’m crazy baby, I’m crazy
You make me feel like this every time you leave, you drive me crazy, I’m crazy about you baby
What should I do, honey, I walk darker than clouds
You pack and talk like it’s cool
And tell me that it’s time for you
But I know you didn’t even wear anything under your coat
And it’s all show
This kind of love makes me want to draw the curtains
Such love
And I’ll never, never, never be the same
I’m crazy baby, I’m crazy
You make me feel it every time you leave
I’m crazy, I’m crazy about you baby
What should I do, honey, I walk darker than clouds
I’m losing my mind, baby, because I’m losing my mind.
I need your love baby
I need your Love.
I’m crazy about you baby
I’m losing my head, baby, because I’m losing my mind.
I’m crazy about you baby
You make me feel it every time you leave, you drive me…
